No, wireless does not suck.This is spread by people using cheap low end wireless, which are garbage. If you get something higher end by Logitech or Microsoft you more than likely will not have any issues.

*Note I exclusively use wireless (I tend to break cords), and have used and own more than half of the mice I recommended here.

Best wireless mouse, hands down - Logitech G900Similar weight to a wired mouse, no acceleration, days long battery life (rare for a gaming desktop mouse)... However, I wouldn't use a G900 for travel unless you get a dedicated bag or case for it (before placing inside your laptop bag) as the way the buttons overhang, they could get damaged if they snag on something. Like the G700, it actually stores it's settings onboard, so if you use other operating systems or switch between multiple systems, your settings will carry over. You could set up a profile for Windows and another for Mac so all buttons work how you want, and then be able to switch the sensor settings as well without ever needing to install the Logitech software. I did a review of this in the Review section of the forum, not cheap, but fantastic.

Best portable wireless mouse - Logitech Anywhere 2A portable that feels as comfortable as a fullsize mouse, months long battery charge. Odd scroll wheel release though. I did a review of this in the Review section of the forum, again, not cheap or good for gaming, but a fantastic portable mouse.

Other good alternatives (though only the G series iss meant for games):Fullsize - Logitech G700s, (FUGLY!), but a great mouse and a smoking deal for what you can find them for these days, G403, G502, G604. Or the Mx performance.Portable - Microsoft Arc (not good for gaming), any small, cheap Logitech wireless. Despite being cheap, the cheap Logitech mice work quite well, just don't expect to use it for a full days work or gaming, but for $15, if it gets destroyed, you won't be too upset.

Not recommended:Pretty much anything wireless that is not MS or Logitech. This is especially true for cheap, non-bluetooth wireless, seriously, don't even bother.Even good, high end wireless have connectivity problems, I'm not sure what MS and Logitech do, but if you look up reports on various mice, you will find fewer problem per capita by Logitech and MS, by a LONG shot. As for lower end, most cheaper brands start glitching out after a few months, sometimes less. So while you pay more for Logitech or MS, they last a lot longer.

What is your opinion on the best wired mouse? (sorry offtopic, I usually don't do this)

I'm afraid that the built-in battery will die on the G900. Put I like the idea of a "mobile PWM3366".

How is the G900 better than the G403 wireless? Coz the G403 also comes with PWM3366.Oh.. and some report the ability to wiggle the mouse buttons on the G900. Is that true?

At 1000mhz refresh and 7000 DPI, with lights on, basically worst thing you can do, the battery will last about 28-30 hours of use. If you turn off the lights, the battery will last 32 hours non-stop. It's not going to die on you, but if it did, 5 minutes on a cell phone charger gets you 2-4 hours or something like that. The software will even tell you the exact amperage draw it's using so it's not like you are going to be surprised by it.

As for it vs the 403.The 900 has no acceleration for gaming (not a big deal for most people) and the G900 can connect to 3 machines, (switched by pressing a button on bottom) using the dongle and bluetooth. While the 403 uses a dongle. Bluetooth is about 10 times more efficient than the dongle, but less responsive. The 900 also gets slightly more battery life (2-10 hours more).

The buttons can wiggle a teeny bit.. That's because of how they are mounted. Most mice use a plastic flex hinge, I.E. a thinner section of the plastic body that flexes, the G900 uses an actual hinge, as in a pin running through holes. This means they can wiggle more than people are used to (it's not noticeable while using it), but also makes for softer buttons since you aren't fighting the plastic.

I haven't used a wired mouse, willingly, in... ummm... uhhh... Yeah, I'm not going to answer that as it severely dates me. Let's just say it's been a long time.

I cannot stand wired.

No love for the greatest mouse of all-time? aka The Intellimouse?? hello??

Are you playing Counter Strike or something??

Why the need for such high polling rates and DPI?? What is your working resolution?

I use dual 1080p screens for cad so i need pixel level precision, I also get carpal tunnel chasing a mouse all over my desk.

So I use super high resolution and refresh, then turn down mouse sensitivity in the OS to compensate. This way I can go across both screens with very little movement (1/2 to 3/4in mouse movement), but still have pixel level resolution.

"oh but gaming...!" I can spin around 180 degrees and headshot someone no problem, however you need to build up to it. Most people do not have the dexterity from the start to do such precise movements at rapid speed, it takes practice.

10-4 LeslieAnn, I can't stomach $130 on a mouse tho...What do you recommend for playing/botting Diablo?

I swear, I have no idea why this idea keeps popping up.

The G900 does not support multiple devices OR Bluetooth. The button on the bottom is for switching between profiles stored in the on-board memory. The only wireless it supports is via the provided USB dongle. That's it.

The MX Master is the mouse that supports pairing with up to 3 devices via the switch on the bottom (and Bluetooth).

I generally hate all keycaps. Keycaps are for poofs. Real men touchtype on stems. Non-functional artisans are awesome, I use them for the ESC key ... escape is for cowards anyways, real men go frontal assault.

for those who are looking to get a wireless mouse,logitech has released the G703 and G903. essentially they're similar to the G403 and G900, but they feature a wireless charging mouse mat. "powerplay" is what they call the tech:

Eh, technically they announced them. The Power Play wireless charging mat is going to be available in August (I think?), and the Mice (903 and 703) will be available at the end of the month.

I tried switching my G900 to those lower DPI's and yeah....I have to pick my mouse up move it, pick it up...move it

I honestly want to know wtf is wrong with me. I can't go above 800 dpi, and I have 3x 4k screens (used to have 3x 30"). I can't even imaging 8k dpi. Like, my brain can't process actually being able to use a DPI that high

I guess it's whatever you get used to. :shrug:

On a side note I'm now going to try the G403.

Some people lack the dexterity to move at such tiny increments.

Another thing that can explain it is that many people today have grown up on large, high DPI monitors and garbage mice that came with their system while the older among us started with low res mice/monitor combos and upgraded to match each generation of newer monitors to retain the same movement. I STILL have customers using not just ball mice, but ball mice with no scroll wheel even (*shudder*) while using a 36in or larger screen, which is why I carry spare mice with me on the job.

I've used pretty much the same movement "feel" for many, many years, tuning the system and mouse so it feels as close as it did before the last upgrade. It has slowly drifted towards higher and higher dpi, but it's a slow drift, not a big jump.

Yeah, I am not far off. I am running about 2500-3000. I saw someone earlier said they set theirs at 10k. Hats off to them. I can't do it.

I use 1600dpi on 720p and 800p resolution

When I use 1080p or 1600p I up that to 2400dpi

This is very important for ergonomics. Using only small finger and wrist movements , I can get across the entire screen.

Anyhow, since it's back..I recently got another Razer Sphex mousepad (v2), my old one (v1) was peeling after years of use and I was not happy with the SteelSeries (EXP?) pad I had replaced it with (the v2 was delayed and v1 not available for less than double retail price). I had to drop 1000 dpi as it was simply too sensitive. Thinking back, I think I had to bump it several hundred 400-800dpi when I switched to the Steel series.

So if you want to speed up or slow down your current mouse, but yours isn't adjustable, try some different pads.

Well, I eventually got the G403, been using it for a couple months. It really is awesome. Perfect shape, perfect glides / mouse feet. And the battery lasts two weeks if I am programming, which is mostly typing anyways.
